Toon Shaded Shotgun!

AzzaMat

so I saw this concept on the Concept art for 3D Artists thread and I decided to give it a go! This was the initial concept
This is what I ended up with. It still needs a little bit more work, especially the wraps where the handle is but it's at a stage where I'm happy to post it.

For any of you who want the shader flow-graph

I think it gives a pretty nice end result =D Enjoy

Very cool, I'd say you could go a bit darker with everything, what I like most about the concept is the color. Yours is a bit too light in my opinion.

Why is there no outline on the handle like the rest of the model? Cool stuff nonetheless!

AzzaMat

J0NNYquid Thats an easy change I can just change my clamp value and up my saturation.

Thats one of the things that needs some work,its using an alpha mask but if I put in the black outline it screws the silhouette =/ Im gonna thicken the lines add a normal at some point to see if that helps.

Thanks for the input =D

Ok cool, it might be enough to just up the thickness of the outline? Not sure, sounds like you can swap in/out ideas pretty quickly with that shader so give it a shot.

awesome man, looking forward to seeing an update with this!

Awesome dude . and thanks for sharing the material

hey, glad my thread is being used in the way I intended it to be used. The gun looks great and the material is really good except for one thing; Like the others said, it needs to be darker, especially the handle!

RogerP

this looks great!!!

AzzaMat

Thanks a lot for posting it, there is a lot of great concept stuff on there to draw from.

Also I darkened the shadows a bit. Just added a power of (set to 5) between the constant clamp and the divide in the lighting setup. Gives me a lot more control over the shadow darkness


Will try and find some time to fix the shotgun =D

Thanks guys

Looks awesome. Wish I could understand what any of that UDK shader stuff means lol.

Daft.Eng

This is crazy cool, you're pretty much nailing that concept spot on, nice work!

ljsketch

yeah, spot on to the concept. I had to look twice to make sure there was a model posted. I'd like to understand those shaders in UDK also...at some point in my life.

Hey, this is great. Also thank you for posting your shader info. I have been trying to figure out a toon shader in udk.

sipher3325

Excellent stuff.

AzzaMat

Hey guys, as a few of you expressed an interest in learning how the shader worked. So I did a little video that goes over each bit step by step and I do my best to explain what is happening and why. I hope you find it useful.

Also I realise that I said my concept in the video, its not mine, I don't even know who did the concept.

Sparkwire

its an early concept for TF2, by valve

Thanks for video AzzaMat

AzzaMat

thanks sparkwire I did wonder, I hope the video helps =D
